New "OSIRIM" storage space available to Grid'5000 users

A new remote storage is available from frontends and nodes (in default environment or deployed -nfs and -big) under "/srv/osirim/<your_username>" directory.

It provides a persistant storage space of 200GB of storage to every users. If needed, more space can be requested by sending an e-mail to support-staff@lists.grid5000.fr.

The new disk reservation feature is available for beta testing

In order to leave large datasets on nodes between experiments, a disk reservation service has been developed, and is now available for beta testing on the grimoire cluster in Nancy.

See this page for more details.

The service will be extended to other clusters after the beta testing phase.

3rd Network Interface on paranoia cluster

Users can now use the 3rd network interface on cluster paranoia at Rennes. Eth0 and eth1 provide 10G and eth2 a gigabit ethernet connection¹.

We remind you that grisou and grimoire clusters have 4 interfaces 10G in Nancy.

¹ For more details, see Rennes:Network

Changing job walltime

The latest OAR version installed in Grid'5000 now provides the functionality to request a change to the walltime of a running job (duration of the resource reservation). Such a change is granted with respect to the resources occupation by other jobs and the resulting job characteristics still have to comply with the Grid'5000 Usage Policy¹. You may use the oarwalltime command or use the Grid'5000 API to request or query the status of such a change for a job. See the Grid'5000 tutorials and API documentation for more information.

¹ Rules from the Usage Policy still apply on the modified job. We are however considering changing the Usage Policy to take the new feature into account, and would welcome ideas toward doing that. Please feel free to make suggestions on devel@lists.grid5000.fr.

Grid'5000 events in your calendaring application

Grid'5000 events, such as maintenance operations or service disruptions are published on the events page (https://www.grid5000.fr/status/). You see the summary of this page on Grid'5000's homepage, but could also get information through a RSS feed. Since last week, events are also published as an ical feed ([1]), to which you can subscribe most calendaring applications such as Zimbra or Thunderbird's Lightning extension.
